lots of work done today!! Re-hinged the driver door and got it to shut. cut out the battery tray from old seat box and welded it into the new one. Fitted the new seat box 1" forward from the rear bulkhead to aid with the disco transmission fouling on it. Cut down the transmission tunnel and floor panels to suit the smaller space. Cut a hole in the fuse cover and mounted my push button start switch. Not a bad 4 hours!

pics..

I'll re upload the pics when I get 5 so they're in harmony with the rest of the pics. Yeah the idea worked great mate... Cut down the tunnel and floor panels and they sit great. None of the holes in the sill line up any more and I haven't got the right drill bit. Need a decent m8 to sort it out. Good progress though

Haha its a reflector for when the door is open. It goes mental with the flash on my phone.

Got a disklok, pair of mushroom screws for fuse board, some missile style toggle switches and some other gubbins on the way. Bolted the handbrake back plate to the t-box but didn't want to get underneath to fit shoes as it was wet. Some rock sliders arrive Friday. It's all go go go!

Jus cosmetic stuff done over past few days. Bolted the seats down, got a disklok and painted the floor panels, bulkhead and seat box Black. Not very authentic but it looks pretty good Imo

Made up a bracket and fitted handbrake. Rear prop, wiring and mot baby!!

Bracket is made from a piece of my old disco chassis so it's nice and thick and strong. Bolted to the seat box with 4 m8s. Then the lever bolted to that plate.. Didn't realise there was no plate there on a series seat box.. Oops!
